Laudato Si’ and Community Activism against Environmental Destruction

The webinar explores the role of community activism for environmental protection as theorized by Pope Francis in Laudato Si’ and explores what that looks like and how it functions in real life.

The Save Our Sperrins campaign against toxic gold-mining in Tyrone,

Fr Donal Dorr, theologian, will speak about what Laudato Si’ has to say about the role of community activism in protecting our environment, while Sr Majella McCarron OLA, missionary, will provide a reflection that considers theory and practice.
